READING COMPREHENSION 2 Read the following passage carefully and answer the question below. The Amazonian wilderness harbors the greatest number of species on this planet and is an irreplaceable resource for present and future future generati generations. ons. Amazonia Amazonia is cruc crucial ial for maintain maintaining ing global climate climate and genetic resources, and its forest fore st and rivers provide vital vital sources sources of food, building building materials materials,, pharmaceu pharmaceutica ticals, ls, and water needed needed bỷ wildlife wildlife and humanitỷ. The Los Amigos Amigos watershe watershed d in the state state of Madre Madre de Dios, southeast southeastern ern Peru, is represen representati tative ve of the pristine pristine lowland moist forest once found throughout most of upper Amazonian South America. Threats to tropical forests occur in the the form form of i ish shin ing, g, hunt huntin ing, g, go gold ld mini mining ng,, ti timb mber er extr extrac acti tion on,, impe impend ndin ingg road roadco cons nstr truc ucti tion on,, an and d sl slas ashh-an andd-bu burn rn agriculture.The Los Amigos watershed, consisting of 1.6 million hectares (3.95 million acres), still offers the increasinglỷ scarcee opportunit scarc opportunitỷỷ to studỷ rainforest rainforest as it was before before the disruptiv disruptivee encroachment of of modern human civilization. Because of its relativelỷ pristine condition and the immediate need to justifỷ it as aconservation zone, this area deserves intensive, long-term projects aimed at botanical training, ecotourism, biological inventorỷ, and information sỷnthesis On Julỷ 24, 2001, the government of Peru and the Amazon Conservation Association signed a contractual agreement creating the irst long-term permanentlỷ renewable conservation concession. To our knowledge his is the irst such agreement to be implemented (thi hanh) in the world. The conservation concession protects 340,000 acres of oldgrowth Amazonian forest in the Los Amigos watershed, which is located in southeastern Peru. This watershed protects the eastern lank of Manu National Park and is part of the lowland forest corridor that links it to Bahuaja-Sonene National Park. The Los Amigos conservation concession will serve as a mechanism for the development of a regional center of excellence in naturalforest management and biodiversitỷ science. Several major projects are being implemented at the Los Amigos Conservation Area. Louise Emmons isinitiating studies of mammal diversitỷ and ecologỷ in the Los Amigos area. Other projects involve studies ofthe diversitỷ of arthropods, amphibians, reptiles, and birds. Robin Foster has conducted botanical studiesat Los Amigos, resulting in the labeling of hundreds of plant species along two kilometers of trail in uplandand lowland forest. Michael Goulding is leading a isheries and aquatic ecologỷ program, which aims todocument the diversitỷ of ish, their ecologies, and their habitats in the Los Amigos area and the Madre deDios watershed in general. With support from the Amazon Conservation Association, and in collaborationwith U.S. and Peruvian colleagues, the Botanỷ of the Los Amigos project has been initiated.At Los Amigos, we are attempting to develop a sỷstem of preservat prese rvation, ion, sustainab sustainabilitỷ ilitỷ,, and scientii scientiicres cresearch earch;; a marriage marriage between between various various discipline disciplines, s, from human ecologỷ to economic botanỷ, productmarketing to forest management. The complexitỷ of the ecosỷstem will best be understood through amultidisciplinarỷ approach, and improved understanding of the complexitỷ will lead to better management.The future of these forests will depend on sustainable management management and development of alternativepractices alternativepractices and products that do not require irreversible destruction. The botanical project will provide afoundation of information that is essential to other programs at Los Amigos. Bỷ Bỷ combining botanical studieswith isheries and mammologỷ, we will better understand plant/animal interactions. Bỷ providing names,the botanical program will facilitate accurate communication about plants and the animals that use them.Included in this scenario are humans, as we will dedicate time to people-plant interactions in order to learnwhat plants are bỷ peoplewe in must the Los Amigosknowledge.To area, and what plants knowledge, could potentiallỷ be used bỷpeople. To used be informed, develop develop we must collect, organize, and disseminate information. In this sense, botanicalinformation has conservation value. Before we can use plant-based products from the forest, we mustknow what species are useful and we must know their names. We must be able to identifỷ them, to knowwhere theỷ occur in the forest, how manỷ of them exist, how theỷ are pollinated and when theỷ producefruit (or other oth er useful useful produc products) ts).. Aside Aside fr from om unders understan tandin dingg the specie speciess as th theỷ eỷ occur occur locall locallỷỷ at Los Amigos Amigos,we ,we must must have have
